J.P. is right on the money on this one, Lee.
I was originally going to make the trip to South Dakota to get the same class B, but I again have to have a valid medical certificate, and after the
29th of this month, my "B" is no longer valid.
To answer Lee's questions:
Yes, this is a really terrific deal (assuming you want to drive something that size.) It really doesn't drive any different than a pick up...just have
to make wide turns on corners.
2- I have owned it since 2007, when I bought it from a private party, in Vancouver. As you know, The first year of driving a new coach, one has to
take it to the dealer after every trip because something is always going amiss. Big hassle...the wife has to follow you both trips (drop-off and
pick-up) so the dealer works on the electrical, plumbing, hot water, refrigerator, generator, a/c, inside lights, inverter, etc..........and on, and
on.
I'm glad I did not have to go through that. The previous owner did that.
3- I originally paid about $390,000 (sticker price was $587,000). I registered it in South Dakota because of their low sales tax and registration
fees. Tax was 3% and reg fees is still $387.00 per year. I could be mistaken, but in SD, the registration is 1% of the original value when registered
in the state, and after 10 years, (again, correct me if I am mistaken), the reg is either minimal or no charge. |
